The Clinton campaign has released prominent Democratic surrogates out on the trail on the eve of Election Day, and today in Greensboro, NC, former President Bill Clinton was among them. He delivered his closing, passionate plea in what was his last solo campaign event of the election cycle.
"North Carolina you got a lot on the line!” he cautioned. “It’s close. It always is.”
After more than 200 campaign rallies, countless retail politicking and headlining a number of fundraisers, the former president was all smiles and brought his full energy even though he wasn’t physically at his best, battling allergies and fighting to keep his voice from fading. Although a sense of urgency was still present.
"So much of this campaign has been consumed by the poison that the other side has poured down the throats of the American people. That it’s all bad. But it's not all bad. It's mostly good!” The crowd of students seemed to agree and cheered him on. He continued with a slight chuckle, “I think Hillary has proved by enduring what she's endured that she's the best person to become president.”
Nearly 1,500 students crammed onto the lawn of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro to hear him speak and hundreds more who could not get into the fenced in outdoor event spilled out onto the sidewalks to catch a glimpse of the former president on stage.
The Clinton campaign has repeatedly deployed the former president to red states and made a last minute decision to send him to North Carolina as polls in that state are tightening with just one day before Election Day.
"Send them the signal that NC is the stronger together state,” he exclaimed. "Show them that North Carolina is the future of the United States and the world."
All eyes are on North Carolina as polls in the state are tightening, and the Clinton campaign is attempting to turn the red state blue again. This was President Clinton’s fourteenth time headlining a campaign rally in North Carolina on behalf of Hillary Clinton.
"Go on and claim your future,” he urged the young crowd. “We want to lift everybody up.”
Bill Clinton’s first solo campaign event of the election cycle was Jan. 4, 2016. President Clinton’s spokesperson, Angel Urena tells ABC News that since then, the former president “has done nearly 600 public events in over 40 states and territories on behalf of his wife and her campaign. That number includes unannounced retail stops across the country.”
President Clinton was Hillary Clinton’s most visible campaign surrogate during the 2016 election cycle. Hillary Clinton will also hold her final campaign rally of 2016 in Raleigh, North Carolina.
